Peugeot 308 II Indicators: Green and Blue Warnings (2015-present)

Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are indicator lamps. They don't warn you of a fault. They show you the operating status of a system, for example that a function is switched on. Some lamps can also come with an audible signal or a message on a screen.

This guide covers the Peugeot 308 II and is based on handbook edition ed01-20, which applies to vehicles produced from 1 September 2020. Depending on your version and equipment, your car may not have every lamp listed here.

Quick Reference

Stop & Start

This indicator shows the Stop & Start symbol. It can light up in two ways. When it stays on steadily, the Stop & Start system has put the engine into STOP mode because the vehicle has stopped. When it flashes for a short time, STOP mode is momentarily unavailable or START mode has been triggered automatically.

What to do:

If the lamp is on steadily:

• No action is needed. The engine is in STOP mode while the vehicle is stopped.

If You're Not Sure

If you're not sure what a lamp is telling you, think about what the car is doing at that moment. Matching the lamp, and how it lights up, to the situation helps you work out whether everything is normal. Remember that a red or orange lamp is different: it means a fault has occurred that needs further investigation.

Green and blue lamps are good news. They are simply your Peugeot 308 confirming that a system or function is doing what you asked. Once you know these symbols, you can glance at the instrument panel and see straight away what is switched on.
